MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELTE O'CLOCK. A moderate amount of business has been trap• saeted this morning at 8 per cent., but there is an unsettled feeling, and the result of the Bank Court of Directors is awaited with anxiety, although no alteration is expected. About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The last week's railway accounts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under : 1864. 1563. Great Western North-Western South- Western Brighton ..... 24,149 22,289 Midland South Eastern Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 43,387 39,356 Bristol and Exeter .. 7,654 7,257 North •Easte rn 66,306 59,285 Manchester, Sh e ffi e ld, an d Li nc oln 18,085 16,849 Great Eastern London, Chatham, and Dover - These returns when compared with those of the same period of last year showed some very satis factory results. On the Great Western there is an increase of £,353 ; on the North Western of £8,301 ; on the South Western of £3,492 ; on the Brighton o f £1,860 ; on the Midland of £3,704; on the South Eastern of £1,156; on the Great Northern of £2,419 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £4,031; on the Bristol and Exeter of £376; on the North Eastern of £7,021 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £1,236; and on the Great Eastern of £1,884. •••••••I•I=%IM.N. Two o'CLocI. RISE IN THE BANK RATE. Contrary to general expectation the directors of the Bank of England, when they assembled at their weekly court today, made an advance in the rate of interest to the extent of 1 per cent., from 8 to 9 per cent. Among some of the speculators at the Stcck Exchange the event had been previously can vassed, but the public at large, including discounters and others, were not prepared for the alteration. The Gazette return, to be issued this evening, will no doubt justify the course pursued by the execu tive; and although it is true that the measure was scarcely looked for, its notification has not produced any great surprise, owing to the recent course of events and the uncertain position in which move. tary affairs are placed. Since the measure wag announced a moderate amount of business has been transacted at the new rates, but affairs are still very unsettled. Owing to the increase in the value of money, sales have been pressed in the English Stock Market with greater activity than before, and the result is a further decline of per cent. Consols are 861 874 for money, and 871 1 for the 11th prox. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 85 June, Exchequer Bills, 15s. dis. ; and India 5 per Cents., 103 The Foreign Market, which opened steadily, has since became very flat, and a general decided de. cline has taken place in values. Mexican have de clined to 27; ; do. New to 251 e ; Greek to 231 f ; Spanish Passive :to 30* ; do. Certificates to 134 *; Turkish Consolides to 501 ; and the Con. federate Loan to 79* 80*. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on the most limited scale, and prices have shown increased depression. South Eastern have declined £1 10s, ; Great Northern, A Stock, 165,; London, Chatham, and Dover, ss. ; and North Western, Ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain Without any material change. Bank and Miscellaneous !Shares continue very flat. Alliance have declined to 621; City Bank to 118, 119; Metropolitan and Provincial to 231; Credit Mobilier to 131 ; Hudson Bay Company to 161; and National Discount Company to 124 ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England Shares are quoted 33i prem.

ADJOURNED INQUEST. -THIS DAY. This morning, at ten o'clock, the jury empanelled to inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of Mr Thomas Briggs, who is alleged to have been murdered by Franz Muller on the North London Railway, re-assem• bled at the Town Hall, Hackney. Mr Humphreys, the coroner, told the jury he need not detain them more than a moment or two. Certain wit nesses whom ho should consider it necessary to examine were at present on their way home from America, and were expected to arrive early next week. He should therefore suggest that the further consideration of the case should be adjourned until the morning of Monday, the 19th inst. The proposal was at once assented to by the jury, and the court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day., - MARLEOROUGII-STREET. ROBBERY or JEWELLERY.—Frederick; Skinner, porter, iu the employ of Mr James Meade, of No. 22, Davies street, Berkeley-square, was chat god with stealing some rings, brooches, and other articles of the value of £3O, the property of his employer. Mrs Meade said that on going to a safe kept in a back room on the first floor, she missed a quantity of jewellery and two silver snuff boxes. Her husband had been lying dangerously ill at an hotel, and always kept his keys, in cluding that of the safe, under his pillow. The prisoner was in the habit of going backwards and forwards, and it was by that means she believed the prisoner had got access to the safe, it evidently having been opened with a key, and there being no marks of violence about it. The prisoner said he would rather say what he had to say when he came up again. A smartls -dressed young woman said the prisoner gave her a brooch and pin, stating that he had bought them. Mrs Meade identified the articles as her husband's property. Shore, an officer from Scotland-yard, said that he had discovered a ring to have bgen pledged at Westminster, which Mrs Meade had also identified. The young woman said the prisoner also gave her a uaex, and, as sno thought he was going to give it to another young woman, she pledged it. Shore asked for a remand, which was granted. THAMES. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A MARRIED WOMAN.— Mary Alexander, a married woman, was charged before Mr Partridge with the following disgraceful conduct in Heath-street, Stepney:-- It appeared that the prisoner, who lived at 93, Heath street, with her husband, came home last night about 7 o'clock. She was in a dog cart, and as she came down the street she waived a handkerchief the whole distance. When she got near her own house she got out of the vehicle and raised her crinoline in a very improper manner. She then danced round the cart, and collected a crowd of nearly 200 persons. She then picked up some granite Amos which she flung among the crowd. Police constable 119 li was then obliged to take the pri soner into custody. Several of the neighbours came forward who stated that the prisoner was often in the same way, and of causing a disturbance in the street. Inspector Hays said that a few weeks ago the prisoner was sent by Mr Paget for a month to the House of Correc tion for a similar offence. The prisoner was find 405,, or in default, one month's imprisonment. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

The few Scots on show realised fully 5s per 81bs. Sheep— the number of which was seasonably good— were a dull inquiry, on former terms. The best Downs produced 5s 4d per Sibs. We were well supplied with calves, which com manded less attention. Prices, however, were supported. The top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs.

Catholic school had their annual treat. They marched in procession, with flags and banners, through Burslem, back to Cobridge, and then to a field engaged for the purpose on the Birches Head Farm, where they were provided with tea and buns, Zee. Some of the friends of the scholars had procured the services of the band of the Burslem Rifle Volunteers, who headed the scholars in their march. While passing through Burslem, we are informed that the procession was met by the Rev. Dr Armstrong, the rector, who ordered the volunteer band to leave it, alleging that he would not permit them to join in the procession of a Roman Catholic school. The band refused to obey the rev. doctor's order, and accompanied the children to the field. It appears that Dr Armstrong then went to the commanding officer of the Bur3lem Rifle Corps, Captain Twigg, and induced him to give an order for the band to return. This order was net, however, communi cated to the band until eight o'clock in the evening. The Rev. Mr Leith and the scholars had been left the field, and the band was engaged in playing for some of the friends of the scholars, who were amusing themselves with a dance. It is presumed that some misunderstanding occurred, as the band did not obey the order to return. We regret to state that this disobedience of orders has led to some serious unpleasantness, and that the ma:deers of the band have been required to send in their instruLetents and clothing .

THE ARRESTS DURING THE BELFAST 2. roTs• — As we have already announced, 176 people were wounded and nine killed during the recent riots, which lasted for 14 days. There were in Belfast, including military and constabulary, a force of 4,000 armed men, and the number of arrests made of those in gaol awaiting their trial was exactly 50—the great majority of whom are charged with no more serious offence than having arms in their possession in a proclaimed district. Probably the greater number of the accused will also be charged with riot, but it seems a complete legal farce that only 50 should be in custody for a fortnight's rioting, when in any half hour during that time ten times that number might have been lawfully arrested if the authorities had only done their duty.—Northern Whig. DESTRUCTION OF FEDERAL SHIPS BY CONFEDE RATE CRUlSERS.—Yesterday intelligence was re ceived at Lloyd s, under date New York, August 27, that two more Confederate cruisers had evaded the Federal war steamers and successfully run out of the harbour of Wil mington, and since then had destroyed no less than 33 Fede ral merchantmen. The Tallahassee has eluded all the efforts of the Federal gunboats to overhaul her since she ran out of the harbour of Halifax, N.S., and on the 23d of August destroyed no less than 25 Federal coasting ships and vessels on their homeward voyage from Europe, many laden with valuable cargoes. All this destruction was effected off the coast of the State of Maine. The Federal mercantile marine, and the coasting trade especially, is completely paralysed by these daring exploits of the Confederate cruisers. The Federal gunboats have hitherto been foiled, as the com manders of the Confederate cruisers will not risk an en gagement, their only object being the destruction of pro perty, and not fighting. The smallest potty in the world is owned by John S. Rarey of Ohio. It is only 20 inches high, and weighs `wily 211 b. Not a transaction worth recording took place yesterday. Favourites and non-favourites remained in statu quo, and there was nothing to indicate,that the decision for the great Northern event was now only a question of hours. Never do we remember such apathy in the market. A very fine race for the 'Welter Cup between Principal and Moulsey resulted in favour of the non-favourite Moul sey, Principal starting with odds on him, but failing in the last few strides, and being defeated by a head. The Clown walked away from the once dreaded Paris in the Five Sov. Sweepstakes in the hollowest of styles, and the Nursery Handicap was productive of one of those tedious delays at the post that seem to be accepted for the normal state of things, as the phrase goes, in races of this description. The favourite, Verdant, a very good-looking colt of Mr Hodg man's, was bowie 1 over by Hotly, an outsider of Mr Payne's, who won very easily. Gamma, looking in the perfection of bloom and condition, carried off the County Handicap easily, though damaging her chance in the last few strides by en attempt to savage" her antagon'st Soapstone, At last Lord St. - Vincent has been smiled upon by fortune and allowed •to w:n something. East Lancashire disposed of his small field for the Cup very easily, winning by eight lengths, which might easily have been made 18. The prize is a hondsome group in oxydiscd silver, commemorating en historical incident in the War .wickshire family of the Shuckburghs. The other events call for no particular comment. The rain did not seem to have much effect on the attend ance, which was fully equal to that of the day before. , Lord St. Vincent has purchased Claxton, it is said, for 1,200 guineas.

On reaching the half-mile post Trapeze took a clear lead, Hetty, in company with Mr Wodson's colt, at the same time joined the leaders, who ran in a body to the turn into the straight, where Vigilant, Tilt, and Trapeze ran out, which left Doeford with a slight lead, followed next the rails Ly Hetty and Cedric on her right to the enclosure, where the three were joined by Tilt. From this point a close and interesting race ensued, Hetty getting her head in advance opposite the stand, and winning very cleverly at last by a length, Cedric defeating Tilt by a length for second ; Verdant was fourth, close up, Edin burgh fifth, Vigilant sixth, Jevington, and Doeford next.

On reaching the dis tance post Barter gave way, and Soapstone came on with a slight lead of the favourite and the Principal, the three running in close company to the enclosure, where Gemma came out and appeared to be winning easily, but Soapstone catching her at the Stand she stopped and attempted to savage her adversary, end in consequence just won by a neck, Soapstone defeating the Principal by a length; Bar ter was a good fourth, Walloon fifth, and Golden Dust next.

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A GENTLEMAN. —The fine fashionable watering place of Dunoon was last week the scene of a good deal of sensational amusement, arising out of the vagaries of an aristocratic visitor. The gentleman in question is said to be the Hon. William Henry Bruce Ogilvie, of Cowden, whose name re cently figured in connection with some singular proceed ings there with which he was immediately mixed up. He is brother to the Earl of Airlie, and though only 24 years of ago, is a retired oflicer of the army. He arrived at Dunoon on last Monday week, and took up his quarters in Mr Lauder's Royal llotel. He was not an hour there, nor indeed in the village, till he made it apparent that some unusual amusement was in store for the inhabitants. He opened ;his hotel in the most hospitable way to all corners, inviting porters and labourers nightly to entertain ments, at which a piper presided. He would go out dressed, give away articles of his clothing, and return to his hotel barefoot and almost naked. When restricted in liquor or anything he ordered he would get into the wildest passions, and threaten to annihilate every one who stood in the way of gratifying his extravagant desires. Night and day, it was all the same, he seemed never to tire of cutting the most singular capers, and all, as he said, in the way of having fun. He would rug out and in about the hotel with nothing on his person but a short flannel shirt. He was fond of decorating himself with articles to make a show. With a largo bright metal dish-cover for a helmet, a window-blind for a toga, gaudy coloured bell-pulls for sashes, a fish slice, a huge carving knife, or a poker for a weapon, or a gaselier torn from the ceiling for a sceptre, he would rush upon and ieghten the inmates, or run out through the streets a theatrical warrior, willing to do battle with any one who came in his way. For days and nights ho persisted in this extravagant conduct, putting the inmates of the hotel in a constant state of terror and alarm. He would retire as if to go to bed, and immediately after wards would be found throwing dressing-glasses, basins,and ewers over the windows into the streets. He tore down the gasfittings through the house; and one night the whole premises were so completely filled with escaped gas from this cause that had the landlord, on discovering it, not taken immediate means to stop the main pipe, and clear the apartments of the gas, the roof might have been blown off the house and the inmates killed. On Saturday night last the gentleman took umbrage at his host for showing a stern opposition to a continu ance of conduct that had not only frightened every guest save the author of it out of the hotel, but put all the other inmates in bodily fear. He suddenly ordered his luggage to be collected, saying that he was going to leave the house. This was the prospect of a happy riddance. Out he went, and when out, to prevent the chances of his return, the doors of the hotel were closed against him. He proceeded to the Eagle Hotel ; but his character being there before him, he was not admitted, at least as a lodger. He wan dered abroad all night, and about five o'clock on Sunday morning he made his way in through the grounds to Dunoon Castle, which is occupied by Mr Eglinton and family, He rung the door be ll, but not being imme diately answered, he opened one of the windows of the dining-room, violently forced in the shutters, gained admission, and threw himself into one of the couches, making hints& quite at home. The inmates of the hous e became greatly alarmed at this unwonted intrusion. The gardener ventured into the dining room, but the intruder or deredhim to o h g b t esend to him a gentl e man to h shimself. At length a son of the woinhom a g d o d n re e s , and family made his appearance, and the short conference which ensued is said to have ended in the intruder making a dexterous leap through a large pane of plate glass out at a window. Ho ran to his old quarters at the Royal, rung the bell furiously, and when denied admission he tried to force open a front window. The landlord, however, arrived in time to prevent him getting through the window; and when the madcap found himself defeated in his object, he, with one of his fists, deliberately smashed nine panes of glass in the sash. By this time Mr Eglinton made his ap• pearance along with a couple of policemen, who took the hon. gentleman into custody on a charge of feloniously entering Mr Egliaton's house. He was kept in the lock up at Dunoon till the following day, when he was sent in custody vice Loe.hgoilhead to the jail at Inverary, there to await the consequences of his folly. It is said that all the Pecuniary liabilities he has incurred have been, or will be, honourably liquidated. What will be the result of the criminal charge against him remains to be seem—North British Mail. A Stutgardt journal announces that the Countess William of Wurtemberg, nee Princess of Monaco, has been bitten by a mad dog at her husband's chateau at Lichten stein, THE INGREDIENTS OF GlN.—The ingredients used in making gin in the present day are very few, and they are all of a wholesome character. Taste in the flavour of gin varies in dilferont localities, and that which may be palatable in ono county will be disliked in another. The flavour approved of in London and the midland coun ties would be rtjected in the west of England, especially in the neighbourhood of Barnstable and Bideford, where an almost plain spirit is preferred; whilst in Plymouth and Cornwall a coarse imitation of Hollands has its general admirers. One house iu particular in Plymouth has a monopoly for a peculiar flavour in its gin, which would be unpalatable to those accustomed to a spirit of a different character.—Brzlish and Foreign Spirits, by Charles Tovey. BARNET FAIR, THIRD DAY, Sapt. 7.--Tl:e cattle fair was resumed and nrcught to a termination this morning. Some droves of beasts lying out in the meadows wero transferred in job lots among dealers, but very little business of a retail character was transacted: Horses and ponies were inspected, and dealers who had ueld over sub mated to previous offers. There were many aged and in ferior horses not sold. The unsold stock cleared off, many droves of which will go to a large fair to be held in an ad joining county. In the afternoon the horse races, which are hell annu%lly 04 the last day of 1.4,1 tale, too plate. AMERICA. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF LIMERICK. QUEENSTOWN, SEPT. 7.

CAPTURE OF A SHARK.-00 Thursday morning last, one of our mackerel boats brought in a specimen of the hammer shark, which had been captured off Beaehy Head. It was afterwards exhibited in front Of the parade. It was about nine fat long,--Surrey Stliulard. PRESERVATION OF THE THAMES FROM POLTA T _ TlON.—Yesterday the Thames Conservancy Coln. missioners, under the provisions of the act of last session, took vigorous measures to prevent any further pollution of the waters of the Thames by gas companies and other manufacturers allowing washing stuff, "blue peter," and. other offensive matter to flow or pass into the Thames; also to prevent the throwing of gravel, ballast, Scc., therein, or its deposit in any position on the banks of the Thames, or upon any stream thereof within eight miles of tho Thames, from whence it may be carried by thud into the river. SECOND MACKEREL SEASON.—Several thousands of fine mackerel have been caught on the coast of Cornwall during the past few days. They sold readily at high prices., A few baskets were sent to London. Among the passengers who arrived at Marseilles by the steamer Peluse, of the Messageries Imperiales, W as M. Lejean, vice-consul of France at Massouah (Rod Sea), After being for some time detained a prisoner by the Em.. peror Theodore, M. Lejean was set at liberty by a decree expelling him from the country. The English Consul still remains a prisoner. The Gazetta Popolare of Cagliari gives an account of certain disturbances which took place at Sassan (Sardinia) during the latter days of August. They began with a demonstration in favour of the new Communal Councillors, but cries of " Down with the new taxes I" soon mingled with the cheers, and the Town-house was literally besieged by a dense crowd, until a party of troops arrived and dispersed it. On the following day the people refused to pay the duties on articles of consumption, which led to a fresh intervention of troops. Groups were formed in the streets and reformed as fast as they were dispersed. Up to the latest accounts about 60 persons had been arrested. The sandbank in the Saone, which caused the accident to the steamer on the 10th July last, will soon dis appear. The Minister of Public Works has allotted a credit, of 60,0001 r. to the Engineers of the Ponts-et-Chaussec,s charged with the care of the river, and dredging operation s are about to be commenced to remove that obstruction to the navigation. A FRIENDLY GLASS. BURTON, OR OLD SHERRY ?--The quaint old Burton observes— " That a cup of generous wine to those whose minds are still or motionless is, in my opinion, excellent physic." It may bo rather hazardous to give too many extracts or anecdotes of the inspiring effects of wine; we have no doubt we could be met by many a sad tale of over indulgence. Such melancholy topics are, however, out of our province. Yet statesmen, men of letters, and heroes of every age, have found their solace in wine. The brightest lights of the political horizon in their time—Fox, Pitt, Sheridan-- profited as Plutarch says did Lamprius, i.e., disputed best and shone to most advantage when under the inspiration of wine. It is not disputed that Sheridan finished the last act of Pizarro in half-an-hour after taking a plate of sand wiches anditwo bottles of claret.—Alcolta versus Teetotal• isin, by Charles Tovey, How THE POOR LIVE IN LONDON—(Or, at least, how it happens they don't more frequently die.)-- The larger part of the poor women in London get a living by charing and laundry work. The wages of the husband will not pay the six shillings rent for two rooms, and the schooling ci two or three boys and girls, and " keep the wolf from the door" as well. The wife, then, must go out to work also. A mechanic, working for the shops in his own neighbourhood, or for those at the West-end, makes from 18s to £1 per week ; a labourer the same sum. This leaves but a small surplus for clothes, I assure you, if any at all, after the rent is paid and the food consumed at the end of the week. I know as a fact that most wives who are too delicate, or are unable for other reasons to go out to work, never eat meat themselves, and they and their child ren mainly subsist on bread and dripping, treacle-water, and tea. Sometimes a luxury is improvised in the way of a herring, or an ounce or twu of salt butter and a herring This I know to be the fare of a poor family who, out of £1 5s per week, have 6s 6d rent to pay, and to support five young children. The poor man must eat one good meal of meat now and then in the week, as his health would decline for want of proper nourishment, and his work would flag wefuly in consequence. On the return of the wives from the wash-tub or charing they have only time to wash their children and put them to bed. All day some of the child ren have been at the ragged or national schools; perhaps one boy has been carrying about newspapers, and parcels, or doctor's medicines, for 3s 6d per week ; another has had the care of the baby, as well as a small child, and has spent his time on different doorsteps, exposed to the temptation of marbles, pitch and toss, and countless perils to himself and charges in street affrays and Inelecs of different kinds throughout the day.—Ones a Insk. AN ELOPEMENT FRUSTRATED.—Two of the pas sengers who came from Liverpool in the City of Manchester, and intended proceeding in her to New York, have had their intentions frustrated. One of them was a respectable young lad, aged about 1G or 17 years, and tho other a companion of the opposite sex, apparently four or five years older. The pair are somewhat below the middle height. The mother of young Ccalebs, upon discovering the flight of her precious boy, came via Holyhead, and had. the satisfaction of parting the companions at Queenstown and flinging into the tide a photograph of his intended. The demoiselle proceeds back to Liverpool, but states that all will be right again after a short time.—Cork Reporter. CHIMNEY SWEEPEP.S.—On the first of November an Act of Parliament will take effect to amend the act for the regulation of chimney sweepers. From that day chim ney sweepers are restricted from cmploiing children under ten years of age, and are not to be accompanied in their occupations by persons under 16 years old. A letter from Cyprus gives particulars respecting the cultivation of cotton in that island. Iu 1862, the exports were 6,000 bales ; in 1863, 8,000 ; this year they will be at least 12,000 ; and, owing to the greater ex tent of land being bought under cultivation, they will pro bably soon reach 30,000 bales. These results are the more remarkable, that all Asia Minor, including the islands, (SR not produce 8,000 bales ten years ago, The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro portions allotted were to Calcutta J.;180,000, and to Bombay £120,000. The minimum price was as be_ fore—ls 111 d per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and is 111 d on Bombay, The applications within the limits amounted to £1,300,000. Tenders on Calcutta at 2s Oid will receive about 91 per cent., and on Bombay at 2s 0/d about 33 per cent. No allotment was made to Madras. These biddings were about a half per cent. higher than those on the last occasion. Baron de Budberg, the Russian Ambassador at Paris, has left for Germany to proceed, it is thought, to Schlangenbad, but first visiting at Studgardt Eno Queen of Wurtemberg, sister of the Emperor Alexander. A. letter from Tananarvia of the 15th July, in the 111oniteur du Soir, 8,3.8..." Manifestations and 'movements in favour of th© King have been lately reae wed.
